A translation of "Words of the Week" published in the Seikyo Shinbun based on President Ikeda's recent guidance, and more.
February 25th - March 3rd, 2019
-- WORDS OF THE WEEK --
"Courage" opens the door to meeting others,
"dialogue" develops deeper understanding
and empathy
and "sincerity" becomes the foundation
for building trust between us.
It's our heart that moves others'.
Let's challenge ourselves to play out the drama
of establishing this philosophy
for a peaceful flourishing world!

---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"When we are aware of our mission as Bodhisattvas of the Earth, we can find a way to fight, a way to contribute, no matter what kind of constraints or restrictions limit our actions. We must fight on with wisdom and courage. The Daishonin declared: 'still I am not discouraged' (WND –1, 748). In that spirit, he kept on fighting, undeterred by any persecution."
The New Human Revolution—Volume 30, Awaiting the Time 10, translation released January 2019
